York Thread

York were completely toothless.

That gift of a penalty was the only way they were going to score. If we were still playing now they would not have scored otherwise.

Mind you so were we till the late substitutions. Why doesn't a player with Bowerman's pedigree get a game? I was pretty underwhelmed by our starting front 2 today.
 
A fine point against the in form side of League Two

As always with this League when you pull off a result things around you also tighten, we are four points clear with the Goal Difference potentially worth another point from our point of view one more win should secure it.

Looking at the remaining fixtures Manfield had a cracking result against Rochdale yesterday and our two away fixtures are against play-off contenders and then the last game brings the Dons to Stanley who also had a good result away yesterday so I take nothing for granted other than it's in our own hands and there is still a lot to play for.
 
Had a look at all the remaining games this morning all the teams below us play each other Wycombe have Northampton next. One more win from us will make goal differance at least -2 so 53 pts should be enough,as for yesterday if we had our shooting boots on would have won well done Shay a lot round me giving Beattie stick for putting him on showed the rest how to score.
 
Have to say the substitution did surprise me,but the lad must have been showing well in training i reckon, J.B. @ P.S. know the score so that,ll do fer me.:) got up well fer the goal did young Shay well done lad.
 
Well a great day out over the border...... York along with Morecambe and Torquay is without doubt one of my favourite away trips.

My first game for a while...... and I have to say its the same old story for me. The back 5 had a decent game, thought Nicky Hunt made some great tackles. Thought Atkinson did ok considering he has hardly played this year.

Really not sure what the logic was playing Buxton in midfield?? I think we where probably setup to get a point, which thankfully we got. Moly again looked on a different planet when he was introduced, what I would give for us to be able to keep him next season.

As for going forward I really did think we looked pretty dire. Gray and big Kay looked miles off the pace for me. As others have said, not sure what Bowerman and Webber have done wrong??? As for MCcarten.... I thought he had disappeared off the planet! So fair to him for taking his chance.

Up the reds.
 
Watched the action over breakfast on TV and I think Big K was very harshly dealt with re the penalty. It looked to me as if he was pushed into the ball, he definitely didn't raise his arm towards the ball. Hey ho! We got another great .....late equalizer!:tongueout
Shay rose really well to get up first to the high corner from Moly as it dropped! Great goal for the lad. Well done to JB for making some brave changes in team selection. Well done to the boys on the pitch for keeping up the fight right to the end.
Creeping nearer to safety!
ON STANLEY ON:thankya::mosher:
 
Have to say with the penalty, it looked a damn site worse on the ground n it looked bad enough on telly.:eek:
 
Never a penalty in a thousand years! All credit to the lads for not letting their heads drop after that and keeping on battling to get their just reward!
 
Struggling to see how the penalty could have been given - the ball fell, rolling between Kay's arm and the oppo's knee. Never a deliberate handball. Poor decision.

Great to see such commitment from Shay McCartan who was a missing man for 6 months.
 
Almost the same as last year, except 6 days later and the equaliser a few minutes earlier.

Northants draw closer but a point gained on some, and a win at on good Friday is a must give two very tough aways.

Wycome playing Northants and Birstol R is good for us. The other Bristol matches at home Rochdale and away to Pompey aint easy either :)

Totally agree with that Shaker....and with Smudgie's praise for Nicky Hunt, !. His positional play against two good left-side York players and four potentially match saving blocks/interventions were sheer class and made him MOM by a distance !.
Shay's leap for the goal was from a standing position a thing to be wondered at !...something to do with a Salmon-based diet maybe ?.
More of the same from the Red's should allay all fears of a return to ' the scrap' taking place a few points below us methinks !, and Good Friday's meeting with Mansfield has the makings of a match not to be missed !.
Finally, I can't be the only one to think that York City are not really as good as their League position would suggest !.
